The 2006 winter season consisted of milder temperatures than average resulting in healthy vines with maximum fruit production. The early growing season saw warm dry weather that sustained through to the fall, this created optimal development and berry ripening throughout the summer. September and October saw periodic rain which diluted the sugar and fruit concentration of some varieties. The overall outcome was fantastic balance of sweetness and acidity in white varieties and workable ranges in the reds. The end of the growing season closed out well with a decent Indian summer allowing for optimal ripeness in all varieties.
TASTING NOTES
An extremely crisp and aromatic styled Chardonnay, this wine delivers upfront fruit on the bouquet including citrus rind, green apple and tropical fruit. The palate is clean and refreshing, slightly rounded with creamy oak notes and ending in a crisp citrus finish. This versatile wine is great on its own or with light foods. Drinking well now but will hold until 2008.
FOOD PAIRINGS
